The Dance
We went to her house after the dance
She took her shoes off and drank again
She would not find what she wanted
Though I wanted something real
I could feel her up against me
There was something on her mind
Her eyes were glazed over by the liquor
I wouldn't know her another way
I would have been a little stronger
If I had known she wasn't alright
I couldn't help it when I saw her
Nothing would come out right
She would go with me in the spring time
Moses would drive and I'd get the door
Again she'd drink to get away
I wouldn't regret it if I had made her stay
Light broke on us all
What were we doing
Wash clean, start again
Take me far away, far away
Light broke on us all
What were we doing
Wash clean, start again
Take me far away, far away
She wanted to leave for another party
And I'm not one to cry
I wasn't strong enough that night
Jenny why did I let you go
You couldn't stand enough to walk
We let the boys just take you away
Now I blame myself for the mess
That car turned over and over and over
Light broke on us all
What were we doing
Wash clean, start again
Take me far away, far away
Light broke on us all
What were we doing
Wash clean, start again
Take me far away, far away
She took her shoes off and drank again
She would not find what she wanted
Though I wanted something real
I could feel her up against me
There was something on her mind
Her eyes were glazed over by the liquor
I wouldn't know her another way
I would have been a little stronger
If I had known she wasn't alright
I couldn't help it when I saw her
Nothing would come out right
She would go with me in the spring time
Moses would drive and I'd get the door
Again she'd drink to get away
I wouldn't regret it if I had made her stay
Light broke on us all
What were we doing
Wash clean, start again
Take me far away, far away
Light broke on us all
What were we doing
Wash clean, start again
Take me far away, far away
She wanted to leave for another party
And I'm not one to cry
I wasn't strong enough that night
Jenny why did I let you go
You couldn't stand enough to walk
We let the boys just take you away
Now I blame myself for the mess
That car turned over and over and over
Light broke on us all
What were we doing
Wash clean, start again
Take me far away, far away
Light broke on us all
What were we doing
Wash clean, start again
Take me far away, far away
